I Just Wanted to Live, but I Somehow Became Better Than the Main Character Book 2: Chapter 9: Illness Relapsed

If an ordinary cultivator took multiple high-grade Spirit Gathering Pills at once, it would definitely lead to a large loss of dicinal power and limited absorption. However, Ye Yong’s divine physique could almost achieve lossless absorption, with ti being the only limitation. He didn’t even need to purchase the sa auxiliary technique as the male lead, [Origin Spirit Absorption. The male lead only had a chaotic immortal physique and not a divine, so he needed an auxiliary technique’s help.

Ye Yong operated his cultivation technique, and the pills in his abdon began to transform into spiritual energy that spread throughout his body. As his spiritual energy increased, his ridians began to expand.

Half an hour later, a loud rumbling sound ca from within his body, and Ye Yong finally broke through to the 13th layer of the Foundation Establishnt stage.

Four days! Do you know how he spent those four days? Basically, he stuffed a handful of pills into his mouth every hour, not only making his stomach uncomfortable, but the taste was also…

Now, were the pills stinky? No, they were very fragrant. Did they taste bad? Actually, the taste was quite sweet and not bad at all. But no matter how delicious sothing was, eating the sa thing over and over would still make it taste bad.

However, Ye Yong had 7 more layers to go through before he could break through to the Crystallization Realm.

“Other people are unable to break through due to insufficient resources or being stuck in a bottleneck. I don’t have a bottleneck and have enough resources, yet breaking through is still so difficult and painful.” Ye Yong couldn’t take it anymore. He couldn’t continue cultivating by taking pills today.

He pushed open the door and walked out of the room. Ye Yong planned to find a certain little cutie to bully and relieve so stress. Usually, when he cos out of seclusion, Wu Xue would be the first to co running over, but not this ti.

“Lil Xue?” Ye Yong called out, but the room was very quiet.

He walked around inside and outside the room but couldn’t find her figure. He didn’t know where she went. In Echo Mountain, Ye Yong wasn’t afraid that she would encounter trouble. With Wu Xue’s personality, she wouldn’t run out of Echo Mountain.

Oh well, I’ll just treat myself to so good food. Although Ye Yong was full, he still wanted to eat sothing else to treat his injured taste buds. He bought several dessert recipes and corresponding ingredients from the store and handed them over to the cooking system. Then he walked to the pond in the yard to feed the fish.

There were several goldfish in the pond, which Ye Yong asked Yi Bai to buy because he was worried that Wu Xue would be too bored. These goldfish were spirit beasts, and were at the 2nd layer of the Qi Refinent Realm, but they were weak in combat and even ordinary people could defeat them. They were ornantal spirit beasts, and their appearance was indeed very beautiful. Their fins were long, golden, and translucent, with a kind of ethereal and illusory beauty.

Looking at the goldfish swimming around, Ye Yong suddenly thought of dragons for so reason.

Dragons were very advanced existences in the novel. Although the current dragons didn’t have the divine beast’s divine status, with the passage of ti, several dragons that had awakened their divine statuses would appear. Unfortunately, they were all male, their descendants that had talent and played a role in the novel. Female Dragon Empresses didn’t exist, which was frustrating.

However, dragons generally symbolized males, while phoenixes…

With this inexplicable association, Ye Yong thought of many novel plots and characters.

At this mont, a goldfish jumped out of the water, as if to say, “Don’t just stand there, quickly feed .”

Ye Yong ca back to his senses, sprinkled so feed on the water, and they eagerly started to eat.

Fish seem to be able to turn into dragons. There was a saying that fish could jumping over the dragon gate, aning that as long as they cross the dragon gate, fish could beco dragons. This also applied to creatures like snakes.

Ye Yong looked in the system store, and there were indeed tis that could improve the beast statuses, and there were even higher-level ones that could directly turn fish into dragons, but the price made Ye Yong lose further interest.

After all, looking at it would only make him feel inexplicably uncomfortable, feeling that poverty was an original sin.

The cooking system gave a prompt that the dessert was finished, and Ye Yong took it out. Suddenly, three different fragrances wafted through the courtyard.

The goldfish in the pond, who had been eating feed, all stopped and stared at the spiritual food in Ye Yong’s hand. They opened and closed their mouths, flicked their tails, and their intentions were clear.

As expected spiritual food- it was incomparable to mortal food. Even the fish in the water were attracted to it. The three top-grade spiritual desserts were the Crystal Jade Water Wave Cake, the Snow Cherry Cake, and the Crispy Jade Pastry. Actually, there wasn’t much difference between eating them and consuming several top-grade Qi Gathering Pills, but the key point was their varied flavors. As food, they could be enjoyed. But what about pills? They were the essence of concentrated spiritual plants, which was convenient, their taste didn’t change. And if soone had eaten hundreds of them in a row… well…

Although the fish in front of him had limited intelligence, it didn’t stop Ye Yong from showing off intentionally.

“Mm~ It lts in your mouth. This Crispy Jade Pastry is indeed crispy and flaky. Look at this Crystal Jade Water Wave Cake, so soft and spongy…”

The goldfish opened their mouths wide. They couldn’t understand what Ye Yong was saying, but they knew he was eating sothing delicious.

Pretty please, let us have so.

Ye Yong had suffered too much from taking pills, so he was happy to see the goldfish looking like they wanted to eat but couldn’t. He continued to sprinkle feed into the pond, saying, “Eat up, why aren’t you eating?”

The goldfish had been staring at the dessert in Ye Yong’s hand the whole ti. It wasn’t until he finished the last bite that they resud swimming. The feed didn’t seem as delicious as before, and they didn’t fight over it anymore.

“That was satisfying.” Ye Yong let out a satisfied burp. Sotis, a man’s happiness was just that simple.

Unfortunately, fish were not pets that could be touched. If it had been a cat, dog, or fox, and it had acted coquettishly in front of him, Ye Yong would have given it everything… Hua Ning Yan, please don’t turn into a demon.

Ye Yong silently prayed. He currently had no intention of getting a furry pet to raise. He had Wu Xue to play with on a daily basis, and later on Hua Ning Yan when he successfully abducted her. He would have a maid and a fox pet, and his life would be as fulfilling as ever.

Thinking about this, Ye Yong was in a good mood. He took out his flute and played it in the pavilion. Apart from showing off in front of others, he would never play the flute voluntarily because he wasn’t a flute lover. He only chose the flute for convenience in combination with Mu Qing Yin’s zither music.

After finishing a song, the sound of the flute was too soft to express his surging feelings of having a fox pet in his imagination. So Ye Yong went to the shop to search for exotic cultural instrunts and found modern mainstream instrunts such as the piano and guitar.

Suddenly, an idea ca to him. If he gave the modern instrunts to Mu Qing Yin, would she break through?

After all, the novel took place in a world similar to ancient China, and there were only a few popular instrunts. Western instrunts like the piano and guitar didn’t exist here. By exploring new instrunts, Mu Qing Yin was likely to comprehend new paths, and she might not even need to go to the ancient ruins. She could directly transform into a music and art immortal, and avoid many risks.

Ye Yong shook his head and restrained his curiosity. First of all, it would be strange to suddenly bring out a brand-new instrunt. Even if Mu Qing Yin didn’t care about its origin, if she really broke through by venturing into a new path, her future would no longer be what Ye Yong was familiar with.

He wanted to buy a guitar to play and sing, but considering that the appearance of non-existent things could have significant impacts, Ye Yong closed the store with so frustration.

Why am I not the male lead? If I were the male lead, I wouldn’t have to care so much because the male lead itself is an existence that brings change to the world. Ye Yong’s illness of occasionally envying the male lead suddenly relapsed.
